You see, Sarah? You see what type of effect you have on man and nature, too. How many times do I have to say it; when you ask God for seismic changes it does not translate well. Baby steps.
The region effected is below. That is the epicenter. Anchorage probably is having aftershocks. That is the largest populated area.

Fishermen/women. If they were in harbor there could have been damage. I don't see reports of tsunami. It would effect the shoreline of southern Alaska, but, would radiate out. There is no expected tsunami and the shake map is to the right. It is fairly local. The region where the earthquake took place is wilderness and fishing vessels. Small towns that serve the incredible fishing industry might dot that area.
The reason there is magnificent fishing is because it is a wilderness. Absolutely little to no pollution of any kind.
